Old fantasy image depicting a kid in a space suit building sandcastles on the moon












10















I'm looking for an old image seen in the 80s. It looks like it could have been drawn by Boris Vallejo or Julie Bell, but as far as I know they are not the authors. Since they've drawn countless heroic fantasy pics and covers, etc you can imagine the style.



It did depict a kid (a girl I think) in a space suit, doing sandcastles (with a plastic bucket) on the moon.
Since this happened 35 years ago, I could be mistaken with the style, but I saw it at the same time as other Vallejo pics, on a slide show for the Amiga or Atari ST.



Does anyone know this one?

  • that was amazingly quick! thanks Mark! Thinking of it: is that the only one image like this? in my (very possibly flawed) memory, the girl was seen from the side and holding the bucket in the hands. Could someone else have copied that concept? or is my memory playing a trick on me (it was 320x200 pic back then too)

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

Image
4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell".
